An old physician, retired from prac- tice, having had placed in his hands by an East india missionary tine formula of simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affec- tions, also positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thou sands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and desire to relieve human suffering, will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe in German, French or Eng fish, with full directions for prepar- ing and using.

Composing a Poem.
Exchange.

The poet, Iiallcck, the author of "Marco Bozzaris," used to keep his po- ems by him long time, that he might give them the last and hap piess touches. Possessing a tenacious verbal memory, he composed his po- ems without committing them to writing. He revised them In the same manner, murmuring them to himself as he walked the streets of New York. or ramblcd in the country. MT. Will liam C. Bryant, in his address on Halleck's life and writings, told this story Illustrating tho poets habits of composition:
 "I remember that once, in crossing Washington park, l saw Halleck be- fore me and quickcned my step to overtakc him. As 1 drew nmr, heard him crooning to himself what seemed to be lines of verge, and as he threw back his hands In walking, perceived that they quivercd with the feeling of the passage he was rcciting.
 "I instantly checked my pace and fell back, ont of reverence for the mood of inspiration which seemed to be upon him, and fearful lest should intercept the birth of poem des- tined to be the delight of thousands of rcaders."
 There are those who still read Hal leck's poems. "Marco Bozzaris" rec mains favorIte of declalming school boys, because they admire the grace fuIness of the dicti0n, and the melody of the words, and the transparent cIearBess of expression which allows the thought fo enter the mind un- dimmed and undistorted
 These qualities, not so marked in modern poetry as they should be, were not gained by nasty compost tion, but by patient revison, such R. Horace c0mmcnds.
 "It is much harder work" said q learned judge, "to re-write an old opinion than 1t is to write Bew one but the old opinion is more likely to be better ore, and the work of re- vision is mental benefit to myself"

Eighth avenue, Hero is a little two- story building and this was the book worms home. Tho old gentleman apologixed for his untidy house, and conducted mo to his 'sdcn. room in the sccoRd story.

The little old man looked as dried up and as musty as his books He picked up a volume with beech wood covers.

 The book was indeed treasure. The pages were not numbered, and the text Is In sections in the ccntrr of each page. Surrounding these are va- rious interpretations by tho monk who did the illumination of the ini- tials. Tho old man ramblci on and drew out an Aristotle In Latin bear ing the date 1850 and "rhe Lifc of Maximillian H.. Emperor of Ger many" dated l5a5. On tho cover was stamped in gold the imperial eagle. Then came history of the Holy War, printed In i677 by publisher oi Cambridge University, and scores of rclig ous volumes printed about the time of the reformation.

THE GIFTS THE GODS PROVIDED

Old Billy B. was pIous man And heaven was his goal For, being very saving man, Of course he'd save his soul. But even in this he used to say, 'tOne can't too careful be" And he sang with fervor unassumed. eI'm glad salvati0n's free" But the means of grace" he had to own, Required good, hard earned gold; And he took ten pews, as we'll became, The richest of the fold. tsHe's a noble man." the preacher cried, "Our Christian Brother B." And Billy smiled, as he sub-let nine, And got his own pew free. In class meeting mex; o.d Billy told How heaven had gracious been Yes, even back in the dark days, when He was man of sin. "Iis buildin' barn on my river farm All then had" he said; ''I run out O boards an was feedin hands On nothing but corn bread. "I tell ye, brethren, that felt blue, Short of timber and cash, And thought I'd die when the banks then
 burst
 And flooded all my mash But the Lord was mercful to me, And sent right through the rift The tide had made in the river banks lumber raft adrift. +'Plenty of boards were there for the barn. And on the top was cheese And a bar'l of pork as sound and sweet Asany one ever sees. Then had bread and meat for the men, And they worked with a will While thanked God, who'd been good to me, And that I'm doin' still' A shrill-voiced sister cried, "Bless the Lord" The whole class cried "Amen" But 0 keen.eyed man looked at Billy B., In thoughtful way and then Asked: "Brother E. did you ever hear Who lost that raft and load?" And Billy wiped his eyes and said,' Brethren, I never know'd"

Address to Young Men.

There was a large attendance of young
men at the service in their behalf yester-
day afternoon at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Hall, and several business
and professional men were also in the audi
ence. The singing was led by Thomas JEFF
ford, and John Gilmore was organist. The
cause of the unusually large gathering was
the announcement that DR.. Leo Berson,
LID, Hebrew from New York, would
give an address. After Introductory exer-
cises, conducted by Rev. Mr. Bordern, of
the q. B. Church, DIR. Berson was intro
duced and spoke for nearly an hour, to the
great profit and pleasure of his auditors.
The doctor has foreign accent, but his
English is so good as to be readily under
stood. We understand he is of Austrian
birth and graduate of Oxford. His text
was found in John l., 8, and after briefly
alluding to the circumstances under which
it was written, he spoke of the nature of
miracles, following with mastery address
on the natural, moral and mental philoso-
ply of Christ's three temptations in the
wilderness. These topics were presented
in quite new, original and most interest
ing aspect. The laws of nature, geologi-
cally, chemically, botanically and anatom-
ically, were examined, and also the laws of
the mental and moral constitutions. Evil
dences of the first coming OF the Messiah
and his preceding messenger being past,
and the second coming of Christ being fu-
ture, were presented, and it was sought to
be demonstrated that the latter is to be pre-
ceded by the return of Elijah. In closing
DIR. Berson made an earnest appeal to both
Jews and Christians to work jointly in de-
tense of the truth against the assaults of in
fidelity, atheism and kindred doctrines.

Revival Services by DIR. Mcdonald.

The Rev. William Mcdonald, D. D., of
Boston, President of the National Camp
Meeting Association, preached yesterday at
the Sixth-street NJ. E. Church, morning
and evening. Dr. Mcdonald is making a
brief stay in this city conducting union
revival service for the Sixth-street and
Central NJ. E. Churches. His services have
already continued week. Last night
every seat in the church was filled long be-
fore the hour of service, and chairs were
brought into requisition for every availa-
bic space, and many were turned away.
After a praise service of thirty minutes by
the choir, the doctor announced bis text to
be Acts, vi, s: "And Stephen, full of faith
ard power, did great wonders ard miracles
among the people; and preached, on the
life and martyrdom OF Stephen, sermon
of great impressiveness and power-one
long TO be remembered by bis hearers. An
after-meeting was held, TO which nearly all
of the CONGREGATION remained. The service
was run on the line of what is known as
''the higher life" for Christian believers.
DR.. Mcdonald will hold meetings also
every night of the present week, preaching
each evening at the Central NJ. &. Church
at o'clock. Afternoon meetings are also
held at the Sixth-street Church at $50.
The public is invited.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
win Try One-Man Power.


The Alta Baseball Club of this city was a
strong organization last season while
backed and controlled by an association of
gentlemen who were anxious to have it at
tain leading position in the League, but
after these gentlemen ceased to have charge
the nine did not do very well. 1t is an open
question, however, whether a club is better
when controlled by an association, or only
by one man. The GREENWOOD & Morans.
of Oakland, have been under the manage
ment of Board of Directors, but, accord
ing to the annexed item from the Oakland
Tribune, they have resolved in favor of one
man power, and 7. ?. Robinson, very en-
ergetic and capable gentleman, will manage
their affairs during the coming season. The
Tribune says:
THE eternal broil that has been going
on in the GREENWOOD & Moran Club for
several weeks eliminated yesterday, when,
at meeting of the players, resolutions
were adopted dispensing with the services
of Directors Will q. Hawkett, George W.
Shook, J. t. Moran, George F. Robinson
and I. z. Robinson, and announcing that
the team would play ball under the man
agement of T. ?. Robinson for the year
1887. The resolutions were signed by
Long, LANCE (Dolan), Gurnett, Donovan,
Shea, Brown, Van Haltren and Hannah
The name of Fisher does not appear.
Thanks for past favors were rendered the
dismissed Directors, which were certainly
merited, for when the Directors took
charge of the G. & NJ. teams affairs it was
an amateur affair with little reputation.
George Fisher, veteran ball player of
ability, was induced to join the club, and
gave il degree of steadiness, ard mainly
through his efforts the G. r. NJ e were
understood now that the G. g. Ms will
join with the Haverlys, Pioneers and Atlas
and play on the Haight-street grounds in
San Francisco. Evidently Oaklands
Pets have forsaken her, and local patrons
of the national game will have to discover
new fayOrites."

This evening Miss Emma Abbott, who
on Saturday closed very successful season
of two weeks in San Francisco, will COM
mence brief engagement in this city, at
the Metropolitan, where the voices of the
fine organization of which she is the head
will be heard to excellent advantage.
Verdis grand opera, I" II Trovatore," will
be given tonight, and splendid rendition
of it may be anticipated, as the company
has gained great credit for the able manner
in which they present it, and frequently in
the East standing room only" has pre-
vailed. The Cincinnati Commercial says of
one of the entertainments in that city:
80 II Trovatore has not been given in
this city in English for many years, and
never before by the Abbott company. There
is an earnestness about the work of this
organization that is commendable, and it
was quite noticeable last evening. The in
spiring example of the prima donna who
leads the company appears to impress all
the principals, and considering the force
enlisted secures strong, well-moderated
ensemble, pleasing in its fidelity. Miss
Abbott was in excellent voice and sang the
role of Leonora with all the passionate
tenderness she had at command, illustrat-
ing its action with her usual artistic en-
thusiasm. She was well received, winning
numerous encores from an excellent au-
dience. Miss Annandale creditably sus-
tanned the role of Azucena, and William
Pruette was a pleasing Count de Luna
Sig. Montegriffo has seldom, if ever, been
heard to better advantage than last evening
as Manrico'
Tomorrow night the company will pre-
sent 1.-THE Mikado :" at Wednesdays mat
inee, "The Carnival of Venice" and the
lullaby scene from Erminie;' Wednes-
day night, for Miss Abbott's farewell,
- Faust" Miss Abbott will positively sing
at every performance. A large number of
tickets have already been taken, and the
brief engagement promises to be, as it de-
serves, popular and successful.
